One wholesaler has let me down very very badly (err like 4 times) over the last 10 days and another sent me through an Immersun type gadget without warranty, instructions, even a box! Another usually decent wholesaler missed something from one of our orders - first time ever so they are forgiven...
Hi all,
I currently don't have any accounts with wholesalers but am thinking it's going to need to be done soon.
In your experience, are there any hoops one would have to jump through, generally speaking, before being accepted by them to do so?
I think I once saw a thing about must having a...
Time to look for some new Wholesalers to use. Can anyone point us in the right direction. Have been told Eddies in Oxford are good, but expensive. Tend to stay away from the Nationals, but need to keep our usual Wholesalers on their toes.
A bit livered at the minute about a further charge being levied by my wholesaler on the return of WEEE directive lamps.
I will name and shame, Electric Centre, Norwich due to finding their lamp box locked today and being told they will charge me £7 for one lamp or £7 for 300 lamps if I bring...
Was in the wholesalers today, and in front of me a couple of guys were buying a mini board and asked for some 16mm tails which the wholesalers don't stock. So he said don't worry I'll have 3 mtrs of 16mm earth and a roll each of blue and brown tape. Nearly said something but was to gob smacked.
I took my megger mft 1552 in for calibration it was a year old and in mint condition. They lost it! after being fobbed off for a few days while they looked for it eventually they leant me one.Had to go back to jobs to test them,not happy! Eventually they said they will get me a new...
Anyone else finding it difficult to get a big order from their wholesalers lately??
Seems they're cutting the credit limits of all customers to try and protect themselves against firms going belly up and owing them thousands.
I know for a fact that CEF got taken for £300,000 just last week so...

Hi what wholesalers do you use and what sort of discounts do you expect?
Anybody use denmans? I am finding some of Electricfix prices are better than my wholesaler is this normal?
Hi All,
Quick question, anyone know if anyone makes a bulkhead with PIR that works like some of the newer halogen floods.
ie, you leave the switch on and it works of the pir, then you flick the switch a couple of time and it overides and stays on etc.
been asked to change a light for one with...
Does anybody else have problems with the design of the fuse holder of an MK Logic fused spur? I hate the bloody things!
They can be very difficult to remove sometimes and can easily be chipped when levering away with a screwdriver. Also, latching back in can be a real test too.
I've used MK...
hello fellow sparks
i was hoping there would be a fellow tradesman that could point me in the right direction.
having been a self employed electrician since 1991 i am aware that some wholesalers have some tricks up their sleeve in order to boost their salesfigures at the cost of us self employed...
I'd just like to say as someone who has criticised in the past some of the wholesalers, that I've had great service in the main from some very stressed wholesalers. We've got 14 installs before the deadline and have been able to secure all but 3 inverters. Stock is so far being delivered as...
I have been let down by the wholesaler, I have converted some low voltage mr 16s to Gu10 LEDs, and added a few downlights here and there, at the end of the job I was one led GU10 short. I popped to the wholesaler last friday to order the other lamp for this friday. I called them today to see if...
